Renewing through the Michigan Board of Nursing (LARA)
Renewal applications, fees, and continuing-education requirements are handled by the Michigan Board of Nursing (LARA). These are board-set and change over time, so we point you to the official source rather than list figures that could go stale. See the general compact license renewal guide for how the compact fits in.
The law that governs this in Michigan
Renewing a license issued by Michigan happens under Michigan’s own nurse practice act — the same act that defines what practice means here — administered by the Michigan Board of Nursing (LARA). That act is Public Health Code, 1978 PA 368, art. 15 pt. 172 (MCL 333.17201 et seq.).
There is no compact statute to cite for Michigan, which is the substantive point rather than a gap in our research: Michigan has not adopted the compact, so the practice act above is the whole of the law that applies to you here.
Finding your expiration date
Nursys QuickConfirm shows your license type, status, and expiration date — the fastest way to confirm when you need to renew and whether you hold a single-state or multistate license.
Renewal and out-of-state practice
A Michigan license renews for Michigan only. If you practice in other states, you either hold each state’s license or a multistate license from a compact home state — and that multistate license renews separately in that home state.
Can renewing in Michigan get you a multistate license?
No — and not because of anything about your application. Michigan has not adopted the compact, so the Michigan Board of Nursing (LARA) does not issue multistate licenses to anyone. Renewing keeps your Michigan license valid in Michigan; it cannot upgrade it into something Michigan does not offer. A multistate license only ever comes from your primary state of residence, and only if that state is a compact member.
